Aerodrom is a AirPlay server application for MicrosoftWindows has been updated to version 1.1.4.0. Customers will get the latest version with the automatic update feature which is triggered on startup.

Some of the main improvements are that AerodromMCE is now automatic detecting Aerodrom. AerodromMCE does not need to be started - it is now started automatically and it stops playing other content.
We also added album info display, which apparently worked fine as we started with this feature on iOS 4.x, but stopped working with iOS 5.0.1 (this info is not transferred anymore). Apple TV users experience also problems with this feature, but it does work partially there. Anyhow album info display still works for playing from iTunes. Hopefully this will be fixed with iOS 5.1.
Video playback is still in our main focus. The release of VLC 2.0 helped only a little, because HTTP live streaming (HLS) is still not possible. Currently we put big effort in improving support for that and other currently unsupported formats.
We put many hours of development in the support of AirPlay mirroring, but we found that without further knowledge of Fairplay DRM we will unable to support this feature.
We will continue to improve the quality of Aerodrom and a big thanks to all customers who helped further development with their purchase, input and especially bug reports or beta testing.

AerodromDemo version updated to version 1.1.4.0.
The limitations of the demo version remain still the same as in version 1.1.0.0:
You can only use AirPlay for videos, photos and slideshows.
The full version can also use AirPlay to stream audio.

As we recommend our customers to use the VLC player as player engine, we would like to inform you that the VideoLAN organization has released their latest version 2.0. Aerodrom works with this version and it is no longer needed to install a beta version.
